Other

Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements

4. Reason for Authority Cited:

The Manikin System is manufactured and serviced by the Gaumard Scientific Company. Gaumard has no authorized resellers. A Sources Sought was posted to beta.SAM.gov on 21 May 2020 and closed on 28 May 2020 to identify other sources capable of providing the required services. One response was received from LotusUSA, Inc.; however, their capability statement was non-responsive. Additionally, Gaumard provided a Sole Source letter stating that they are the sole provider and manufacturer of the Manikin System. The Sources Sought also stated that the Government intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Gaurmard, if no responses were received. The cited authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) was selected because: 1) simplified acquisition procedures will be used and 2) the requirement is below the simplified acquisition threshold.
